Biography

Self-styled "scientists of sound", Kool & The Gang developed a bit of a bad name later in their career for their move into cheesy disco and mawkish balladry, but in fact they were skilled jazz musicians whose 70's funk was among the very best of the era.

Formed in New Jersey by Robert "Kool" Bell and his saxophonist brother Ronald, their 1970 debut album, also called Kool & The Gang, has since been… Read more in Amazon's Kool & The Gang Store

5.0 out of 5 stars This really is Something Special!, May 20, 2004
By 
Brian Campbell (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Special (Audio CD)
Wow! I got my copy just in time before this went out of print. Every song on this album is outstanding. As for the reviewer whom said the guys cannot do ballads I completely disagree. No Show is the best ballad the band ever made.

Steppin Out is one of the best disco/funk songs of all time. There is not one bad song on this collection. If you can get your hands on it at a decent price please do yourself a favor and pick it up. Outstanding!
